Applying self tanner can be difficult. You might miss patches; you might get streaks, or you might get an uneven finish. Using a high quality tanner like those from Eco Tan can prevent all the above. But getting your technique right is still so important.
Eco Tan is Australia’s first certified organic tanning brand. It provides a natural and effective way to get glowing skin.
This blog outlines how to prepare, apply, and maintain Eco Tan products for long-lasting, streak-free results.
Eco Tan is great for all skin types and skin tones. Their clean, active, luxury formulas are vegan and cruelty-free. This makes Eco Tan in Australia a top choice for tanning products.
Formulated without synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, phenoxyethanol, PEGs, parabens, SLS, and SLES. This makes them gentle enough for sensitive skin. Key ingredients like barbadensis organic aloe vera and shea butter nourish and hydrate the skin, improving its condition.

Exfoliate and hydrate: for an even application we recommend exfoliating about 24-48 hours before you apply your tan. Using a gentle exfoliator like the Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub will remove dead skin cells. This helps even out the skin’s texture for a smooth tan application. This scrub is also great at removing old tan from the skin’s surface.
Do not exfoliate more than twice a week. Also, wait at least 24 hours after exfoliating before applying your tan. The self-tanner needs some dead skin cells to stick well.
The next key step to achieving an even tan is using a skin hydrator. Self-tanners can pick-up or sink into dry patches on the skin – especially areas like knees and elbows. Use a natural body moisturiser like the Eco by Sonya Coconut Body Milk. This nourishing lotion hydrates and relieves dehydrated skin to promote a radiant glow.
Apply Eco by Sonya Coconut Body Milk regularly to prolong the life of your tan.
To apply the tan, we recommend using the Eco Tan Luxurious Applicator Mitt. This mitt achieves professional tanning results every time. It doesn’t soak up too much of the product and it ensures an even application. Also, you won't have to worry about stained hands.

Leave the tan for 1 hour to settle, then wash off. Eco Tan Hempitan Body Water will continue to develop for 24 hours after washing off.

For best results, we recommend you apply Face Tan Water to clean, dry skin. Use face tan water instead of a toner, as applying another toner will remove the tan water.
Use your fingers to apply, as a cotton wool pad can soak up too much of the product. You don’t need to worry about stains. Face tan water has no harsh dyes or artificial ingredients.
Apply about half a teaspoon of product per application – enough to see a thin layer all over the face. Wait for the product to dry before applying your moisturiser and other products.
Use it 2-3 days each week for a gradual build-up and a radiant glow.
Use a soap and SLS free cleanser because these ingredients strip tans.
Your tan should last between 7-10 days depending on how you look after it. We recommend you moisturise daily to prolong your tan.
Using a gradual tanning moisturiser like Eco Tan’s Winter Skin is great. This will keep your skin moisturised and make your tan last longer. If you don’t exfoliate well before applying tan, your tan may flake off as it fades. This can make it look uneven and blotchy.
This natural tanning range works for most skin types. All ingredients are either certified organic or natural. However, if you have a medical condition or skin condition, talk to your doctor first.
